Pathologica in the time of "Spanish flu"
1Servizio di Anatomia Patologica, Ospedale St Anna, ASST Lariana, Como, Italia.
Abstract:
The pandemic "Spanish flu", that in a few weeks of the autumn 1918 caused in Italy a number of deaths between 350.000 and 600.000, was widely discussed by the scientific community, although very little of that debate leaked out, because of the military censorship.
Abstract:
In the present article we comment on the original papers describing the hemorrhagic pneumonia, and on discussions about the ideas of the origin of the pandemic infection (Pfeiffer bacillus, vs streptococcus or other bacteria vs a "viral hypotesis") that occurred in Pathologica during and soon after that ominous pandemia.

The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
